Netflix has released the first full trailer for its upcomingFear Streettrilogy, based on the books by hit horror authorR.L. Stine. The trailer’s arrival was teased yesterday and debuted as a part of the streaming service’sGeeked Week, a five-day virtual fan event that kicked off this week and is devoted to covering exclusive news, trailers, first looks, and more from Netflix’s most popular genre series and most-anticipated movies.
The trailer gives even more of an expansive look into the terrors that have been lurking in the town of Shadyside over the last 300 years, where a group of teens in 1994 discover that they’re not the first generation to face an evil threat — and they may have to look to the past to find a way to defeat it. Set to the tune of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” theFear Streettrilogy trailer seems to offer some mandatory summer horror viewing.

Although Stine’s books are mostly intended for a teen audience, the upcoming trilogy of films will be slightly more adult in nature, a reveal that Stine himself commented on recently: “Fear Streetfans are in for a treat — and some major surprises. Readers know that the book series is rated PG. But the movies are rated R. That means a lot more thrills — and a lot more terror! I have seen Leigh Janiak’s epic trilogy releasing on Netflix in July and I can tell you the scares and the SCREAMS are more than I ever expected. What fun to see the horrors of Shadyside come to life!”
